Family members of leading Baloch activist and Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) leader, Sammi Deen Baloch held a press conference outside the Karachi Press Club demanding her safe release.

The details were shared in a post on X.

BYC decried that Sammi Deen Baloch''s disappearance comes after she has spent the last 15 years protesting for her forcibly disappeared father.

"Yesterday, on Eid, in front of the Karachi Press Club, the family of BYC central leader Sammi Deen Baloch held a press conference demanding her safe release. Sammi, who has spent the last 15 years protesting for her forcibly disappeared father, is now herself a victim. The cycle of oppression continues, but so does the resistance. No to Oppression, No to Pakistan''s Tyranny!", BYC said on X.

BYC said on X, "Sibghatullah Shahjee Remains Forcibly Disappeared, Still No Trace of His Whereabouts! Baloch Yakjehti Committee''s central leader, Sibghat Ullah Shah Ji, was forcibly disappeared from his home in Quetta by CTD. His whereabouts remain unknown, and he has not been produced in any jail.

Sibghatullah Shah Ji Baloch, a central member of the Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC), was detained by Pakistani forces from his home in Quetta, according to a post by the BYC, as reported by The Balochistan Post (TBP).

TBP reported that over 100 notable figures from civil society in Pakistan had penned an open letter to Pakistan''s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, pleading for the release of the detained BYC leaders.

The crackdown on the BYC leaders and their peaceful protests has drawn widespread condemnation from human rights groups, who accuse the government of attempting to silence dissent and curtail the political activities of Baloch activists. (ANI)
